I just read this Scientific American article on the subject, and it seems a lot farther away than the Slate article is implying. I wonder if some of the funding is going to the researchers who wrote the SciAm article.
New Harvest, a nonprofit organization formed to promote the field, says on its Web site, âoeBecause meat substitutes are produced under controlled conditions impossible to maintain in traditional animal farms, they can be safer, more nutritious, less polluting and more humane than conventional meat.â
For me, the question of "environmentally viable" is important. Right now, IMHO, meat production isn't, so if there is a way to correct this, I'm on board...
No, you don't have to use the emulator forever. But you shouldn't be testing it on a PROD iPhone right away. I can't think of an instance where you go from emulation to PROD--mix in a NON-PROD iPhone...
It's one thing to offer them online if the majority of sales have been through that channel, it's another thing to make it difficult to find. I went on the walmart.com site looking for it. If you don't know it's an Everex machine and/or don't know it runs gOS, you can't find it easily: you'd think that the search query "linux pc" would bring it up, but no dice. So what if geeks are the ones buying it and know exaaaaaaactly what they are looking for? Why not make it a liiiiiitle easier to find?
One more whine: maybe I'm getting sucked into the whole consumerismness of the iPhone/MBA, but the gPC is butt-ugly...
'...a venture capitalist named John Doerr has launched a $100 million "iFund"'
If you don't know who John Doerr is by now, you need to turn in your Silicon Valley geek credentials.
Dude, YOU need to turn in your geek credentials: here at/., you should just have left it with your subject title, "Who is John Doerr," and let the crowd relish in the sarcasm/irony/humor/whatever...
If M$ is truly interested in Yahoo! to strengthen its ad play, then they should just buy Yahoo!'s ad business. M$ should agree to that, right?
Yahoo! can then outsource their ads to somebody else. There's been speculation that they would do it to Google, but at that point, the market is much more competitive since M$ has strengthened its ad play--M$ and Google (and anyone else) can compete for ad Yahoo!'s business.
Thus everyone supposedly wins:
M$ strengthens its ad biz.
Yahoo! realizes a immediate gain by selling its ad biz and immediately realizes an increase in revenue by outsourcing its ads.
Can't see the threat of antitrust blocking these deals since Yahoo! has made the ad market more competitive.
Google wins because, whether they like it or not, the added competition is good for them:-)
"borders on illegal:" I luv it. The whole "maximize shareholder value" thing is deliciously ambiguous. I could take the other side and say that accepting the offer outright borders on illegal because the Board isn't exploring all possibilities (like banking on a higher M$ counter)
IMHO, "cellphone thin client developed" isn't really ground-breaking. Opera Mini is an example of prior art. Now, granted, it ain't supercomputer-like, but still, the concept is similar...
My $0.02: We don't allow our kids to play video games in our house, but don't say that they can't do so at their friends' houses. That way, we never see our kids:-)
...are surprised when people assume you're male when you have (at best) an ambiguous handle then...
Hmmmm. It's pretty clear to me that SHE's a SHE based on HER handle ("lena_...") and HER sig. I was gonna say that SHE must be super hot and have brass ones to have such a sig, but I guess the second point doesn't apply:-)
Two words: David Pogue. If you know ANYTHING about the guy, you know that he's been crapping on Microsoft for YEARS...Why didn't you go full out and quote Mossberg?
One saying: "Even squirrels find a hidden acorn sometimes." What DON'T you agree with about his assessment of WM6? And I'll quote Goatberg too if he strikes gold and gets something right too...
Make that 151. Here's a scathing review of Windows Mobile 6 on what the reviewer thinks is a really great piece of hardware. Money quote:
If your Web browser can't play Flash videos, it should just say so. It should not say, "Make sure the path and file name are correct and that all the required libraries are available." (Insert your own joke here about double-checking the local public library's operating hours.)

LOL. My question was serious, but I now see the humor--color me dense...

Suing itself? Is that like playing with yourself, a topic to which I'm sure all of us /.ers can relate :-)
And, I have a grilled cheese sandwich with the likeness of Ada that I'm about to sell the dude...

Thanks so much for the clarification--I was wondering why this article had relevance to us /.ers...
Rumor has it that the drug dealers are going to deploy a robot hottie cobbled together from old Coleman stoves to distract BBQ-robot.
Is that:
Sorry I couldn't resist--I had to read the sentence twice before understanding it
Dude, YOU need to turn in your geek credentials: here at
Okay, I'll bite on this troll-of-a-msg. You're kidding, right? I know lots of NON-Koreans who consider it comfort food.
And it's not a "comfort food" by any stretch of the imagination. It's pretty much eaten only out of respect for one's ancestors.
Dude, you CAN cook kimchi. It is the essential ingredient in one of my wife's favorite dishes...
Dude... you're not supposed to cook kimchi.
Dude, you know not of what you speak. Being an expert on vernacular-food-related flatulence:

Totally agree with the above.

I wonder when Microsoft finally got on board? Damn, I shoulda squatted!!!

Be this a troll? Where hast thou been?
